Sheetrockero Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Btw - just got my first "email". Not good news Sorry to hear about that. Fortunately it sounds like you applied pretty widely so I'm sure there's a much better match for you out there. Yeah, the worry about research methods and old master's are probably because of the European style program. I know at least one top school in Europe doesn't consider an MBA adequate preparation for their program. I was bummed when I read that on their website since they are doing interesting research and two people that I respect suggested I check them out.

stepwise Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hi everyone! I am new to this forum, so here is my brief intro: undergrad (double major in econ and maths) and a masters in econ. Am applying to quant marketing PhD. Going over the thread, I have a feeling that I have applied to too few schools:upset:. Is (are) there any school(s) with a quant marketing track that I could still apply to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepwise Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I did a run for quantitative marketing PhDs with february deadlines. Here are three I found: FSU - Marketing PhD University of Miami - Marketing PhD Wayne State University Thanks hopeassured for sharing the list. My feeling is that Wayne has more of a psychology-quant track. U Miami's deadline for Business PhD program was Jan 5. Its Economics PhD application deadline is Feb 2 (btw I just happened to explore the econ program and its quite good....based on their syllabi, they cover quite a bit of recent material in their course work, faculty has decent research and they are hiring more good faculy too) There seems to be something wrong with FSU's online application, everytime I login it returns an error message.

Sheetrockero Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I saw several applicants use their signature as a scorecard in previous years. It's magical thinking, but I hope that adding it will result in getting more action, especially in the "Accepted" category.

Sheetrockero Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Looks like we're starting to get some action on Grad Cafe. Mostly Interviews at this point, but there have been a couple of Acceptances and Rejections: -Accounting: Cornell, Ohio State, UNC, Michigan, Temple, Wisconsin (Madison), Indiana have sent out some Interviews. Missouri and Florida have already offered an Acceptance each -Management: Purdue, Ohio State, U Penn (Wharton), Georgia, and Georgia State have sent out some Interviews -Operations: INSEAD sent out an interview -Organizational Behavior: Case Western has sent out an Interview and a Rejection -IT: UIUC sent out an Interview -Finance: Ohio State sent out an Interview -Marketing: Nothing!!! ...well, one person posted in Dec '14 that they got accepted to Texas A&M for Fall 2014...

Sheetrockero Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Good post, Sheetrockero! Nice job applying to 14. I kept it to 8 and felt busy enough!! Thanks hopeassured! I had actually planned to do 18 but I missed one deadline and then started thinking about what I could do with each $100 saved by not applying to schools that I either had no shot at or wasn't 100% excited for. I feel like I ended up with a pretty good list (for my interests). BTW: Nice use of the emoticons and good luck on the interview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, that's not a school I applied to, but it's still exciting to see things are starting to move for marketing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabephd Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Gradcafe says Wharton has started sending mails for Marketing PhD F15. Well, its going to get interesting now :) Aww man, so they didn't ask me for an interview? I guess I can give up that dream. :sorrow: I mean, technically, I gave up on that dream when I decided not to apply, but it'd be nice if they heard about me, and said "Wannabephd", we "wannagiveyouaphd". If corporate recruiters can cold call because they think I'd be a good candidate, then surely top PhD programs can too, right? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naanudotneenu Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Do you think the other concentration areas will follow soon? or is the process separated? I constantly open my apps, see if there's any change in the "status" and hope to read something "awesome". Minnesota and Maryland univs have something like "Under Departmental Evaluation". Rest of them are in the "submitted/completed" mode. So I'm assuming something can be expected from Carlson and Smith School soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
